A 2 Year Birthday

It's been two years since little Ben was welcomed in our our hearts and family. I can't believe it. He is such a joy to me. I can't think of words that describe what I feel when I look at him. He has a heart of gold and is the most caring two year old I've ever met. He is momma's helper and always in a rush to be involved with whatever dad is doing. This month I have caught myself in seemingly endless gazes at him as I watch the 'baby' fall off and the boy rush in, in almost surprising haste. I guess it is appropriate now that a new baby will join us next month. But still, it is magical to watch and be apart of.

Heavy Hearted.

We have no celebratory pics to post, no cake, no present, nothing. Our home has been under siege as the flu (so they are calling it) has attacked everyone but Ben. (I guess that is a pretty good birthday gift). Anyway, all the planning that was done will have to find its place on a better day when we can all hold our heads up to sing a joyful "Happy Birthday" to our Benjamin.

Nevertheless, I couldn't let the day pass without marking this wonderful day down in our 'scrapbook' of sorts... hopefully to post a continuation of this day and all it means to us shortly.

We love you Benjamin!
